Last Updated on February 25, 2026 by Justin Jones

The Bourbon Club of Arkansas (BCA) and ACE Liquor Center have announced the release of a new private single barrel selection: Larceny Barrel Proof “Grand Theft Bottle.”

The barrel is a 7-year-old wheated bourbon bottled at a powerful 134.1 proof, making it one of the higher-proof private selections to appear in the Arkansas bourbon community in 2026.

Larceny Barrel Proof releases are known for delivering bold flavor while maintaining the soft, rounded profile typical of wheated bourbons. Instead of the traditional rye component found in many bourbon mash bills, Larceny uses wheat as the secondary grain, which often results in a smoother, sweeter character even at higher proof levels.

This single barrel selection was made as a joint pick between the Bourbon Club of Arkansas and ACE Liquor Center, continuing the club’s long tradition of collaborating with Arkansas retailers to bring exclusive barrels to the state’s whiskey enthusiasts.

About Larceny and the Wheated Profile

Larceny is produced by Heaven Hill Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky. Unlike traditional high-rye bourbons, Larceny uses wheat as the secondary grain in its mashbill. That swap typically delivers:

  • Softer mouthfeel
  • Sweeter caramel and honey tones
  • Rounded oak character
  • Less spice than rye-based mashbills

At 134.1 proof, expect that sweetness to be amplified with rich oak, deep caramel, possibly dark fruit, and a long finish. Wheated barrel proof picks can walk a fine line between elegant and explosive. When they hit, they really hit.


What Makes This One Interesting

There are a few things to watch here:

  • 7 years of age – That is a sweet spot for many Heaven Hill barrels. Enough maturity to develop structure without over-oaking.
  • Rickhouse 11, Floor 5 – Middle floors often balance heat and airflow, which can produce concentrated but well-structured barrels.
  • 134.1 proof – No water added. No dilution. This is the barrel exactly as it matured.

And if you follow BCA history, you know they do not just grab a barrel for the sake of grabbing a barrel. Their track record speaks for itself, especially with higher proof selections.
